Well, knock me over with a vial of deca. Here's the main thought I have: why do Americans obsess about steroids in baseball when obviously they're focused on the wrong sport. How many football players in this country are not on steroids? And the effects of these super-huge juiced-up athletes running hard at each others is an increasingly worrying amount of brain damage.

I mean: look at those dudes. They look like contemporary cattle in human form. I'm fine with it and wouldn't interfere. But the cognitive dissonance is amazing.
